Never had any, nor wanted them. I have always preferred a quiet life.

embolass · 31/10/2023 05:56

23-30, best times! Met DH at 30, happily married now etc, but do miss that crazy time esp now living with teens, HRT, etc etc

JamNittyGritty · 31/10/2023 05:51

Two periods of wild days….

15-18
24-29

Aquestioningmind · 31/10/2023 05:47

14-16. Got it together for my A levels and University.

Didnt even drink at uni and thought those who did were saddos!

JustWhatWeDontNeed · 31/10/2023 05:33

14-19 with a few relapses pre 24. Now late 30s and overdue a resurgence, but I'm tired.

Autiebibliophile · 31/10/2023 05:29

15-19 and 28-33. Looking forward to the next lot!!

Umph · 31/10/2023 05:20

Also I guess it depends what you mean by wild. I spent most weekends as a 13-16 year old hanging around parks smoking very poor quality weed and drinking cheap vodka now you mention it…

Umph · 31/10/2023 05:18

16-25ish. Had DS at 26 so that rather knocked my young wild and free days on the head, although I grew out of clubbing at around 22/23 so it’s more the travelling side of things that we were doing. I’d say that my peak clubbing, crawling in at 6am, one night stands, working whilst still drunk etc. era was 17-22.

pooonastick · 31/10/2023 05:16

26 - 31. V wild in all respects. Wouldn't change a thing looking back

Dustpantsandbush · 31/10/2023 05:07

17-21

Bobtheamazinggingerdog · 31/10/2023 05:03

26-31

Same!

Absolutely mental.

I’m now a health freak who gets tipsy after one drink 😂

LittleGlowingOblong · 31/10/2023 04:44

Never.
I feel short changed, actually.
Closest would be was when I was mid thirties, my mum dying of cancer, I was feeling bleak about being single and childless, low self worth and poor boundaries. I drank a lot of alcohol and had a 3-4 experiences that were unmemorable to awful.

MaMisled · 31/10/2023 04:43

15 to 22 then again 36 to 40. My mother had hers aged 60 to 64!

Bbq1 · 31/10/2023 04:40

Early twenties - 31

Goldmember · 31/10/2023 04:31

14-17. Lots of very bad behaviour and luckily never got caught and didn't end up with a criminal record.

At 18 we moved 150 miles away, I had the chance to reinvent myself. I met DH settled down shortly afterwards.

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 31/10/2023 04:08

14-17 then a phase again at 22-24

28 now and can't think of anything worse than living my life like that! Give me my bed, a book and a cup of tea😂

Cnidarian · 31/10/2023 03:48

21-27. Oooh I hope it comes back in 50s!

Mothership4two · 31/10/2023 03:38

Blueberry40 · 31/10/2023 03:27

Neurodiversitydoctor · 31/10/2023 03:02

allsfairin · 31/10/2023 02:57

HippeePrincess · 31/10/2023 02:53
